(later) Had a field trip today for Photography. We got on the bus, only 17 of us, and went downtown. It was only 10:30 but we were to have lunch anyway. We are at the market place or street market, I don't know. lol. Something like that, a line of little places to eat. I got some chicken sandwich and I thought it was pretty good. Then we got back on the bus and went to a guys gallery. Mmm. Eh. Heh. I didn't care for it. For the camera he used and the results of the prints he got, I highly doubt that they look close to the original. The colors are too brilliant and look too enhanced. Then we went to this Arts building, a museum too I think. It's new and a nice building itself, but what we saw I thought was rather sad too. Their permanent exhibit was too random and had no trace of a theme. It was 'collecting' but no, that's way to broad. Then what we were there for I didn't care for too much at all. Plus after standing about all day my back was killing me. We left and went to a corner coffee place. PJ's. Got some much need caffeine and then were loaded back on the bus to go back to school. Bleh, I missed 7th hour and of course we did a lab so now I'm not looking forward to making it up myself one of these days. Really hoping I don't have to use the burner, probably will though. After school I had bowling. Didn't do very well at all. I had my wake up with the drink but crashed soon afterwards. That sucks. I bowled an 89 and then a 115 I think. Came home and did the usual. Coming in here to say what's up and now I've got to try to get more Astronomy done. Oh, and hurricane season is now over! Yay! I hope I'll never have to live in an area like this again. Vicki, thank you!!! :D :D Once I do figure something out to send, I shall. Oo okay, I'll go over to visit now! 9:52PM
--Thanks for the address Vicki! I also edited it out of the comment thing anyway. 7:35AM

After a few warm days, it's slowly making it's way back to cold again. And some people have fires so it smells wonderful outside. Love that smell so much. Had tennis after school today. Went rather well and liked getting back into it. It had been two weeks since I've last been there. But ah my hands were freezing out there. Then I got gas as my light was on. Then some dinner. Watched some taped tapes and then Amazing Race and now I'm about to do some Astronomy. Thank you Astraea for your two comments! Yep, Wicked is a musical and it's about ... mm... the two witches from the Wizard of Oz, and how they met, became friends type of thing. It's good. Thanks!! Hm, I think I see what you mean, the top left picture maybe? She's a singer though, and here is a site you can visit. 9:06PM

New layout! Finally back to something I think is rather good. It's soft and simple and pretty. Probably will stay up for quite a while. Back to school today. But it's fine because I was ready to go back and really it's only 3 more weeks and I'm off for Christmas break. Yay. Not much happened during school either. I had dance today too. Oh, but before I was so hungry after school so I mad some mac and cheese, ooo I ate wayy too much, lol. I'm surprised it didn't make me feel sick for dance. I got dinner and didn't have much to do for homework so I made this layout. Oh and two people guessed on what I think was the female celeb name, and I'm sorry but you were incorrect. Vicki, very cool. Yeah, I thought it tasted richer or stronger. Which is great! Thank you so much again! 9:44PM

I had your tea Vicki, it was pretty damn good. What is it exactly? And where did you get it? I also had some more today. Mmm. Well Colleen was suspose to come over to my house today because she had missed out on seeing Return of the King. So like 25 minutes before she was to show up, I couldn't find the DVD. Now I'm pretty sure I have the original and then the extended. Yet I ended up missing part 1 of the extended version and the whole DVD of the original. After much searching I found the original so yay! She came over and got through about half of it. We got distracted and ended up talking. She left around 5:30 and then a few minutes later I left to go see Harry Potter. I said to myself I would see it before the break was over and I was going to go do it. lol. So I go and take a seat and it starts. Oh and I guess this marks my first movie to go to alone. I think. Pretty sure anyway. It didn't feel much different actually, lol. The movie was excellent. This director did a fantastic job. It was like a different start from the others and the music was altered makes it just great. Very very good. I got some dinner and here I am. Vicki, lol maybe it's lost in the mail forever. :D Hm, I'll have to think about this then. 10:28PM

I got the tea Vicki!!! And I'm also home now. I forgot to mention our ordeal with the rental car on Wednesday, before we went to Wicked, my mom and I went to the place to pick up our original car, the one we came up with. I didn't want it back, shitty car. We get it and the one we were using up there gets taken by someone else in a few minutes. We get inside the original car and from the time of backing up and driving 2 blocks it was shaking and doing strange things so we turned back around to the place. This car was suppose to be fixed, it could have been but now something else is wrong! They bring some other car over and it doesn't even have the same amount of space so they get another. It's the same type we had going up there, but not exactly the same car, whatever we'll take it. So then on the way home today we noticed just pulling off on our exit for home that the low tire pressure light is on, oh lol. It's been nothing but trouble with them this week. We left that morning around 6:30 and didn't get home until about 4:10, not bad really. We stopped at McCallisters for lunch, mom didn't like it but I did. We made the same stop last year too. We got everything out of the car and then went to return the rental thing. Came home and unpacked for quite a while. Saw Ice Harvest last night. I liked it, a little more than what I had expected, it was good, go see it. Our big bin of mail came today and I saw a package and it was from Vicki! TEA! lol, I'm excited that it finally made it! Lovely note and the package smells very good. lol. So I'm going to try some out today I do believe! Now I need to send you something, so any type of food you'd like to try from 'down here'? lol. Vicki, thank you and same to you! 1:02PM

Happy Thanksgiving! But let me get you up to speed on what has happened. Tuesday: I went out with ym mom and aunt and had some lunch again at the Bread Co. But before one time I was getting out of the car, I smacked my head coming out. Ohh it was so painful and got a fantastic and large bump across my head. I think it might be there, or that bump is naturally there, lol. Later in the day I went with my mom to the Chesterfield mall and I got lots of clothes for Christmas at Gadzooks, which had been bought out by Forever 21, so nifty. I got some perfume too. We came home and I can't remember. Wednesday: We got dressed and left to go to the actual St. Louis city to see Wicked. It was taking place in the Fox Theater. Which is beautiful and old, and huge. We were kinda far away, but I had a good angle and no one's head was in my way which is always nice. Only problem was I couldn't see very well that far. I was hoping there wouldn't be anything written because I wouldn't be able to read it, and there was, but mom told me what it was. It was very good, really glad that I got to see it. I couldn't understand them in the beginning but the music was great to listen to. I think they did a very good job! So we left the theater and sat in parking garage traffic for quite a while. We picked up a pizza and came home. Thursday: Turkey Day! Woke up and had some breakfast and we shall be eating later today. I'll report later with a roll-eaten count. lol. 11:24AM

Hi. Hello. It's been a while huh? Well let me get you up to par, but I will say now this will be long, and you can probably judge that by the size of this paragraph. So, while it's still remotely fresh in my head: Saturday: I woke up and took a shower. I packed I suppse, but somehow we ended up running very late. We wanted to leave around 10, but it ended up being at 10:50 lol. We don't even leave the neighborhood and my mother already has road rage at the person in front of us, lmao. We finally get on the interstate and begin our journey to St. Louis. We make a stop at a rest area and then another stop in Grenada I think for lunch. Got some Burger King. Got back on the road and ended up in Blythville, Arkansas. I think that's where we were, lol I couldn't even tell you. We listened to music for pretty much 90% of the time and talked and I complained about her driving. And if the problems the day before weren't enough another light came on on the dashboard. Well, some transmission failure or a major inspection was needed with it. Either or. So great! This car is a piece of shit and how is it suppose to make it the next day? So we had decided to just take the chance and continue with the car instead of calling and having a replacement show up. Because that might be difficult since this town was somewhat in the middle of no where. We go to our hotel and check it. Bring some things in and mom figures out where we could go for dinner. Mom won't listen to what I have to say on where to drive, so we have a nice arguement. It's what we do naturally. She refuses to listen to me even if I am right. Finally after a few u-turns we decide on this place. Food came quickly which was nice. We ate and went back to the hotel. I believe I watched Harry Potter 2 on tv and then listened to some music and went to sleep. So what's also funny about my mom driving this car, is that she is use to changing the gear by steering wheel. Well, that's where the windshield wipers are. So everything she wants to change it, the wipers turn on and sometimes they even get cleaned, lmao. It's hilarious. Sunday: We wake up and I get ready and then I go get some breakfast and coffee. The coffee was really good actually. We pack the car and leave the place probably just before 10. The driving goes fine and we might have made a rest area stop. You know, I'm not really sure. Oh wait. I remember now. We didn't, but mom did want to stop at this little fruit market thing that's been wanting to go to ever since we first saw the place. So we go, but it doesn't open until 11 I guess, so we wait 10 mintues and finally go inside. We get a few things and then get back on the road. 30 minutes wasted and behind schedule of course, lol. We arrive at our destination around 1:30 and bring things inside. Then let's see what happened. We visited my grandma and then back home. Before dinner though some more family came over and then dinner was served. Crap, you know it's very possible something happened between the visits, but I really can't remember and this was only yesterday. Gah. Anyway so they left and my mom and I went downstairs to watch Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. Monday: Woke up, got ready, had some breakfast, and then left to go to the mall with my cousin Ashley. We had a lovely time and I got a belt at Forever 21 and then a jacket at H&M. Nice stores they are. We left and got some lunch at the St. Louis Bread Company which was very yummy. Came home and she left as I did some Calc homework. Well, better to do it now rather than forget it later in the week. Did that and she came back home, so we watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. That movie felt like it would never end! It was nothing great I guess. Well then the mothers came home and we sat around with them. Had dinner and that's about it for today. Weather is beautiful, and it's so nice to get out of Louisiana. On a few instances people have asked about Katrina, which is the first time I've been in another state like this and hear their reaction. Just a very few amount of people. Still interesting. Vicki, lol, I bet that was a lot! Oh it's amazing! I love it so! Aw why thank you very much :D :D :D Well, this is like a special Senior section of the yearbook and only we do it, Seniors that is. You as well, well you guys do it too huh? lol, I never really know. It's like 12ish house North of where I usually am. Um, 650 miles for me. lol, how's that? Thanks and I hope it will be! 11:03PM

Did work in 1st hour. Took a quiz in 2nd, and then did nothing. 3rd hour we did something, but we didn't get very far and we had chips and salsa and drinks to go along with our work. In 4th we did the usual, which is somewhat nothing. Well, not always, but I didn't have anything to do. Went to Wendy's for lunch with Jen. Came back for 5th and took a test, then spent time on the internet. 6th which isn't a class, but still did nothing, and same for 7th. Nice days like these make the day before a break so much better. Sure you get bored, but it's quite nice. I dropped off the CDs at Michaels and came home to go back out to get some film and cough drops at Wal-Mart. I walked off with my receipt, but went back to get it. lol. Quite important to know, lol. I came home, oh but not before seeing 2 car crashes on this trip. Odd huh? Anyway, came home for a few minutes and then went out with mom to pick up a rental car. We got this Jeep thing, it's alright I suppose. It'll do. So we eventually drive to eat at Calendar's and she asks me what this light that is on means, I have no idea, but we'll look it up when we get home. We eat, got very full, and came home. Turns out the light means the air pressure in the tires are low, and she also said the wiper fluid was low. Good job rental place! Soo dad eventually calls and tells me how to do it. Mom didn't want me to and she didn't want to go back to the place, and driving like that would be stupid, so I just did it. Dad told me how and I tried it and did just fine! Me, who knows next nothing about cars, was able to do it right. Ah made me feel good! lol, got the hands dirty and all. Gave confidence in it, lol. That might be weird, but I'm proud man. lol. Anyway, so those tires were very low. We'll complain later. So now I need to pack, because it's getting late and I haven't really started. Where am I going? Well, Thanksgiving is coming up which could only mean one thing, to St. Louis I go. 99% chance I'll have internet access. So I imagine I'll still update. But when? I'm not sure. And I know for a fact it won't be tomorrow, but maybe the day after. So goodbye and sorry I didn't get to that Hal Sparks wallpaper and many other things site related. And the one who sent in a finished product with pictures from scanned: very nice! You're the first person to do such a thing and I applaud you! 10:56PM

And the beautiful weather continued today. I hope it stays this way from here on out. Wonderful. Went to Blimpie's for lunch, I was craving it, that and I guess spending almost $7 for lunch, crazy. I finally took my Stats test today too. It wasn't bad. I also said bye to Adam during it, if you've been around long enough: he's the one who taught me how to work the booth in the auditorium. He's leaving for another job, it's sad. I love my iPod quite a bit, lol. I've only got 650 songs on so far, and I think I've just about run out on what I have available to me. Which is sad I guess since I've got 60GB worth of space, ahahaa. Pathetic. And I know where to go to find some more, but eh I'm going to have to wait for it. Anyway. I've still got a lot to do and so I shall go back to my working. Short post huh. Pointless as usual. Hey, it's what I do. ;) 10:22PM

What a cold front that came through overnight! Almost 30 degrees cooler! I love it! I went to my first three hours and then checked out and came home. I studied my World Geography, but it was taking a lot longer than I expected and I had to be back 6th hour to take the test I was suppose to take the day before. So I tried to hurry up but as I left and passed the school it was about 12:50, which game me 30 minutes before 6th hour began, and it would take just that long to take the test, and that's not even close to the driving time. So I get to LSU and as I pull into the visitor center I see someone leaving and grab their parking spot. Very lucky as that was the only one available. I go get a parking pass, didn't have to pay, yay! I go get my test and begin. I finish and turn it back in. I begin my drive back to school. Well, so much for that test as I arrived 5 minutes after the start of 7th hour. And why did I go back if that was my last hour? I have a class, you know, Chem Lab, and we were doing a lab and I don't want to make it up by myself. And just so happens when I walk into the class my group exclaimed how happy they were that I was there afterall, lol. I was going to go to bowling, but I didn't feel like it and I really needed to look at colleges. So I did go home, but not before stopping at Michael's house to get ... borrow 18 CDs. Thank you very much by the way love :D :D :D I came home and mom and I decided on my pictures for the yearbook. And of course, I've scanned them. [one, aw me at the beach around age 3-4, who knows.] [two, Halloween one year, around age 8, I guess.] [three, now this one I knew I wanted in there. That's my dad's socks, lol.] [four, the day of my birthday part around age 6-7 I'd say.] [five, Halloween again, um maybe 4-5.] [six, lol, um maybe ge 4ish.] [seven, age 15 I think actually, no, maybe 14. One of my dance ones.] [eight, age 3 and my first known record of being on the computer, so I just had to put it in!!] And yeah, that's Wheel of Fortune. And here's that Homecoming page for you to check out. So I also filled up my iPod with lots of songs tonight too and did lots of work, but still have a lot to go before the week ends. Watched Lost too, that was crazy. 10:41PM

(later) Alright, so I finally finished the Homecoming page. I'm currently waiting on a link for one set of videos, and once it's finished I'll put it in. Enjoy! 10:55PM
--Hey woke up late again, I obviously need to get more hours in at night. But that probably won't be happening anytime soon. A little before 9 we were loaded on a bus and we took off for Swine Palace. Yes, that's what it is called. We were to see Arms and the Man. We went in and watched it. I thought it was pretty good and that the cast did a good job. Afterwards we walked 3 or so blocks to the Union for lunch, this was all at LSU. And of course it was around lunch time so it took a while to get our food, well it did for me since a decision couldn't be made. Once that was over we got back on the bus and went back to school. I was suppose to take a test 6th hour, but we didn't get back until 7th, so oh well and it'll just push to tomorrow. All of a sudden when I was walking to my car, these 4 black hawks flew overhead. It was scary because, I mean, what was their reason? I hadn't seen these things in a few months, only last from Katrina. And 4!? It was just one after the other again and again and again. I went home, Tennis was cancelled because it was suppose to rain, but it did't lol. So I ordered some pictures from Homecoming, from my own set, they are digital and you can order prints. Yeah. mm. Anyway that's it. I'll be checking out of school tomorrow to go back to LSU to take a test, shall be fun and exciting as always. Vicki, thanks, I'm going to try to write some now. Oh, it's quite a lovely bruise that hurts when I wear pants, lol. 9:27PM

I'm going to try to make this quick. I won't talk about Homecoming though as I'll be putting up a separate page for it. It was really good though. I'm glad I went. I hope to write about it maybe either tonight, if I'm lucky or hopefully tomorrow. Need to do it soon so I won't forget something. After I did wake up on Sunday I did pretty much nothing. Looked at some college places, oh and cropped pictures that will be printed later, so that took some time to get the sizes right. I can't remember what might have happened earlier in the day. But that night I saw the movie Prime with Colleen. Go see it, it was so great. The commercials on tv throw it off and really don't capture the arsty bit of the movie. Had some crazy fog last night that was like in random places. Be somewhat clear and then rather dense in other places. I couldn't see very well, but obviously I made it home. Was rather late for school today. Not tardy late, but late for when I usually arrive. I woke up 20 minutes too late, but oh well. Went to Burger King for lunch with Jennifer and rushed back to school. We went to the dance room and I went over the hip hop dance. While trying to do the backwards roll deal I hit my knee on the floor very hard. Omg it hurt so bad. It's a fantastic bruise and bump. And I screamed and when Jennifer was trying the handstand part, she went completely over and landed on the ground on her back. Which isn't suppose to happen so it was a little scary. Once we ran out of time I went to Astronomy. Ahh it was soo quiet today in Study Hall. It was so great! Of course the day it's quiet and I don't have anything to do. Did a lab in 7th hour. Made a stop at the bank on the way home and when I did get home, my mom showed me the pictures she thought could work for the yearbook, so like me as a baby/toddler/a little bit older. I refuse to put any of me with glasses or the ones that I look like a boy. Because I did as a child and it has scarred me. It has. lol. But I'll still scan some eventually because some should just be shared. Then I went to dance and couldn't even remotely attempt that flip/roll because I was too scared to do it. Instead I just turned on my back in a circle, lol. And then we learned something new, but she was doing it right there so not much was done. Which was nice because my knee is just aching. I got some dinner and came home and did homework and I'm about to get back to it. I'm really trying to get that wallpaper done, but it's just falling second to my work at this moment. 9:43PM

Alright let's see. We cut up a pear in Calc and found the volume of it and we were going to eat it, but it was in the cylinder and who knows what else has been in there. But Bryan and Stephen ate it anyway. During Photo I left to go see our college guidance person lady to see about my over all high school GPA, tis a 3.77, I'm happy with that. But not the fact that we don't do rank anymore. I really wanted to know that. So I sat with her for quite a while and I found out I need to really narrow my list down on where I want to go and do what or I might miss the deadline for financial aid / scholarships. So that is what I will be doing on Sunday. I went home for lunch and came back to school. I had a coughing attack while we were checking in into 5th hour and I had to leave and sprint to the bathroom. When it was under control I went to the auditorium for the Veterns Days concert. But during a point where we were suppose to be quiet, I got another attack! So I had to leave and go to the bathroom until it was under control again. It was terrible. Then when I sat back down it was over and we went to 6th hour. I was feeling just terrible during the last few hours of the day. My head was just so congested and it just throbbed. After school, Paige, Jamie's sister, came up to me asking for a ride home. Her sister had left and she was originally suppose to go home another way but that got messed up or something. But then she decided to ride with Victoria and that was that. I did go home and tried to feel better, by like resting but it wasn't working so I gave up. Oh and this morning we got a call from Matt's mom, I had been looking for him at school to tell him / decide what we'll be doing on Saturday, but I couldn't find him. Turns out he's been out of school for a few days due to migraines. We were told that he wouldn't let me down. How nice. :) I decided to be stupid and go to the Homecoming game. I arrived around 7:10 and walked in with Amber. By half time I was feeling so bad it wasn't even funny but I decided just to stick it out and watch the rest. So I did and wanted to leave at the end of the 3rd quater, but I stayed and once it was over I immediately left. Well they won, 72 to 49 is what I think it was. The other team fouled out so much that only 2 players were left on the team to play. Crazy. So I came home and covered my head with a blanket and feel asleep on the ground. I woke around 10 and went to sleep, hence the no update yesterday. The screen was too bright and killed my head more. So turns out I had a migraine myself. Oh it was just terrible. And yesterday was 11/11/05. 11/11, nifty reminds me of a song, anyway, today: My alarm went off at 4:00AM so I could take a shower and then go back to sleep. But apparently I just turned it off when I heard it. But luckily I woke back up at 4:40 and I went in then. Took that shower, fixed my hair and then went back to sleep and woke up around, I don't know, after 10. I took the shower because I was told my hair looked nice on Halloween and I should do it for Homecoming, and it needs 12 hours, so that's why it was so early. I'm not so sure I should do this for my hair, but it being straight hasn't been working oh so well lately. Plus the weather is too hot anyway so this'll just have to do. But I woke up and my bangs were crazy so hopefully they will fix themselves in a few hours. I had some breakfast and did some things online and finally I got out of the house to get my nails done. I then made it over to Albertson's to get my manflower, but almost got hit by a flower truck. Slightly ironic. I got that and did my good deed for the week and told some chick she forgot her wallet. lol, for the week. No. So I got home and had some lunch and now dad might be going out to get a smoothie for myself which will have lots of caffeine, yesss. I also got an email telling me to make a Hal Sparks wallpaper. Nice choice whoever did it. I would try to do it today, but I just don't think it'll happen. Which leaves me tomorrow and I'll try to do it then. So now I need to shave and I don't know. Prep more I guess. I might do another update before I leave. Vicki, okay, I will let you know! 3:13PM

I attempted to have some school spirit today since it is Homecoming spirit week and each day we can dress accordingly. Monday was Tacky Day, Tuesday was Animal Print/Camo day. Wednesday was Hollywood/Diva day. Thursday was Geek vs. Jock day. And Friday is school colors. So I wore my math t-shirt: counteract the chain rule. There was also a big and very important volleyball game and so the players, cheerleaders, and 125 fans on 2 fan buses were not at school. Which knocks out about 2 grades, lol. Soo in first hour there were only 6/11 kids and in 2nd hour there were only 5/20ish, in the 3rd hour there were only 3/12 and finally in Photo only 2/8 after I checked out. lol. We did something in Calc but ended up just talking in English and in Stats I did some Chem Lab. So it was pretty pointless for me to be there so I called my mom as I put away some pictures in Photography. She said okay and I said bye to Tori and Sam. Poor Tori couldn't leave and instead had to set a good role model to everyone that wasn't there. I went to the office and checked out after I went to Brad's class to tell him to check out. I left and went to Sonic, got some food and came home. I watched some tv and took a nap and then listened to some music as I went through pictures from long ago. I was looking through them for the yearbook, for the Senior section. Well I got into just looking at them that I forgot what I was doing. I should scan some in, lol. Then what did I do... Hm. Well mom got on call so we went out to this store and then to Wal-Mart and then home. Where I had some dinner and then the parents went out and got me some more dinner. lol. But I am very very very excited to say that I am back at my goal weight. Yes!! This is a huge deal to me because : whether you do know it or not, probably not, I was about 118 before my cruise in July. Then by the time I got back until late September I had dropped to around 110. And then in early October I hit my all time low of 106. Which during this entire time I was freaking out because I had never ever done something like this and I had no idea why my weight was dropping and it worried me like crazy. Not to mention that my clothes are big now but oh well, a little bit better now. And I hadn't been around 110 in about 3 years and down to 106 I would guess around 4-5 years. So yeah, big deal. And since that moment I was forcing myself to finish at least every dinner meal. And whoot tonight I was back up to 112 and I think I'll stay around the 110-112 range. So anyway I watched When Harry Met Sally and then did some Astronomy and now I think I'll go to sleep. Still sick, still sucks. Nikki, thanks for the comment and yeah, tis pretty cool, but I've still yet to use it. 10:34PM

A very Happy Birthday to you Michael. I know this is like my 4th time to tell you this but I have to. Instead of having English, we went to the auditorium and sat around watching our teacher go over the agenda for the presentation of the Homecoming Court. They were practicing and she announces everyone. That was somewhat entertaining but ended and we went back to the normal classes routine. Printed in Photo and Study Hall again. It's really really nice when I have the darkroom to myself. I can work at my own pace and just be off from everyone else. It's so nice. Went with Julie and Lauren to lunch as we picked up Wendy's and came back for the NHS meeting. Then 7th hour was the presentation. It was cute I guess. Funny too. Tori won which I was glad to see, as I did vote for her. Some found it quite unexpected actually. Today is Wednesday which means bowling day. I met Jamie there and we had a nice time, you know competing against each other. I was having a thigh cramping problem and her wrist was rather sore, so besides that we did pretty well. I got a 117 and then a 107. I hit up Sonic on the way home because I needed a smoothie for my throat. And ah it was wonderful. I got home and saw my lovely iPod package. I opened it and it's so pretty in it's scratch protecting cover, lol. I can't do anything with it because the software has been put on my computer and dad wants to try something else. So I'll just have to wait. Later I got some dinner with my mom and watched Lost. That was one crazy episode, and is that person really dead? I don't want to give away who if anyone else watches, but if you do, what do you think? I was shocked. Very shocked. Vicki, it's sad. Thanks, I hope I feel better too, lol. I guess you're doing better? You seem to be, but then again, I'm not there to see. 9:30PM

I woke up this morning with a catchy throat and tonight it is a nice cough. Which is of course just fantastic because I have a dance Saturday. But I don't care, I'm going to go no matter what. I survived field day last year when I was sick, I can do this. I don't even really care for orange juice, but the plan is now to drink it like crazy lol. Math test went well but I did mess up this one problem, oh well. English was spent talking/laughing about highly interesting topics none of which I'm afraid I will mention here and then in Stats half the class was gone so what we did do got annoying because of some people. Umm. Printed 2 pictures in Photography. Went home for lunch again because 1, I had forgotten to grab my Tennis stuff so I would have to come back for it and 2, ... I don't know, fill something in here. My t-shirts also came in the mail today so I checked them out when I was at home. Well, eh, the red one is a little small and mom wants to get another size, but it's my fault I got the wrong size, not them. I didn't try the brown one on, and was planning on wearing it tomorrow, but maybe not now if it doesn't fit. Printed 2 more pictures in Study Hall. Oh and in Chem Lab, Graham didn't have a partner so as I walked in the teacher was saying how I would switch to him since I'm in a group of 3, but my group was like nooo we need Marielle. Well, that was nice and gave me a little ego boost. Because, hey I had no idea, found it sweet, lol. So I stayed with them and Graham just went to Evan and Victoria. I mean they probably wanted me to stay for this one reason I have in my head, but I'm going to push that aside, lol. I changed into shorts after school and Jamie and I were matching each other. We're that cool. And someone asked us if that was the new practicing uniforms, lol, even though it was the schools talent show t-shirt. Went to practice and ah I'm so excited, the coach told me that he thinks I'm just about ready to try a match. !! That is awesome. I can serve pretty well so yay. I came home and just sat around, as I'm feeling cough-y and just exhausted but still a good day. And especially last night because I talked to Andrew for the first time 13 years. 13 years. We were best friends in preschool, and sure that is a completely different term then compared to now, but he means a lot to me. I found him on myspace and wasn't sure if it really was him and if he remembered me, but yes he does! So that's great, and what's odd about it, he lives next to someone who's in my grade. Little freaky. So like I said I just crashed after I came home and had dinner and watched the Amazing Race. They went back to the U.S. ughh I want to go to other countries. But they are going to Park City, Utah, at Olympic Park next week and I was there!! So everyone watch. They will be doing this type of jump, and at this very spot. Coolness. Well I'm going to go watch my taped The Office. Okay, so bye! 10:25PM
Quote of the day: "And then next week is the week before Thanksgiving, so we'll just riverdance or something." -talking about how the days are screwed up by distractions so this will be the plan since work can't get done.

Ooo I just remembered I have a Calc test tomorrow, so I better study for that after this update. I helped Amber process her film in Photo. I came home for lunch and had some leftover pizza from last night. It was quite the yummy. And I am so awesome because I printed 3 different pictures today in Study Hall. I'm amazed that I got 3 done, thought I was cutting time close but nope, had like 4 minutes to spare before 7th hour. I took a trip to the office during 7th hour to turn in a yearbook order, but also visited someone to see how my spectra tool was coming. She was suppose to call and this was like ... 3 weeks ago I guess. lol, well, she made the call today so we'll see when something arrives at the school. I came home and looked through some college mail. Got this huge packet from Beloit today. I was interested but I'm not entirely sure they what I need for a major. So hm. I went to dance and wow, it was awesome. Only 6 of us were there, maybe normally 12. And we learned a new part to the dance it is crazy. We're doing this nifty tricks on the floor and it kills my knees. I'll have so many bruises, and then I can't exactly do it, but I can get through it which makes me like I can, lol. But it is too cool. I'd video myself, but heh, could be used against me so no. lol. And it takes away so much energy that we just had to sit there to catch our breath and everything. I picked up some dinner and came home. And now I'm going to go do some Calc. Vicki, omg!! He died? Whoa... Does that feel weird that you were there and now he's not here anymore? Whoa. I guess he was badly hurt then. 7:42PM

Not much really happened today for me. I watched Grease on tv and then later Eternal Sunshine. Love that movie. Then I did some dishes. Oh, and dad and I decided on an ipod. Though, I'm not sure if he did get it. ... Maybe? Well, we did it off the internet and I now owe him a nice chunk of change. Anyway, so I when I took those pond pictures I took some of the Katrina trees, and so here is an update on how they are coming: [one] and [two] And as you can see not much left, except a large dent and dirt to fill in the holes. I've also really enjoyed putting pictures up lately to show you guys and well I've run out so if you got any ideas or something maybe you'd like to see, tell me. Vicki, lol awesome! I hope so too! Aw why thank you. :D 7:01PM

Here is my 3rd roll for Photography. So I woke up quite early and left the house around 6:59. I got to the school around 7:20. I've never made it that early, but I got a good parking spot, not that it would matter. I called Amber to see where she was. I was sitting in my car and looking around when I thought I saw Tori, but I didn't think it was her, but it looked like her. So Amber arrives and sees Tori and we walk over and turns out it is. So that was cool and we walk over to wait in line. Around 7:35 I'd say, they called the SAT II kids in. I checked in and went to the room. Amber and Tori would wait longer since they were doing the regular test. So my class begins and the people there are taking 1 to 3 subject tests. I was there for one: Mathematics Level 2, oh yes. And each test would last an hour so I thought great I'm going to have to sit here for 2 hours, but hmm, maybe they will let us go. So I take the test. It was definately harder than the regular SAT math, but it went well I think. I mean I said this last time and only got a 600, so we'll see in 2 weeks. Well after that first test the lady in charge asked for the people only taking 1 test to raise their hands. I did, and so did this other guy. She picked up our stuff and we were free to leave. Yes! So I got out of there at 9:30, which is fantastic. Felt bad for the other two, but I'd done that for 5 times now, lol. 5 times, wow. I get in my car and drive to Kadair's to get some picture/negatives protectors/holders. Of course I ended up buying the wrong thing. For some reason I thought I needed a sheet that had 4 spots for pictures, when really it's only 2. So I got the 4x6 when I need the 5x7. I don't know, I'll see if I can cut it to fit or something. I then went to the mall and got some LaMadeline's for lunch. I left and came home. And that's it for now.

Not much happened in my morning classes. We had a substitute for Calc and she tried to prove that 1+1=3. I'm sorry, but nooo. A man and a woman can make a baby to prove it, but no, that's not that the same. In Photo some of us played with that blown up sun. I went home for lunch. I had to email something to myself so that I could work on it in Astronomy, but when I got back to school, and for the class, the internet wasn't working. I think something happened to one our wireless things at school. So that sucked. In Study Hall I watched over someone's baby for part of the class. It was annoying, I don't know how they do it. Talked to Rachel after school and then came home. Sat with Lexi outside for some time. It warmed up a bit, but I hope that will be it and just get cooler from here on out now. That would be lovely. I managed to finish the Astronomy thing after taking a nap. Then I scanned my negatives that I brought home from Photo. I've just cropped and fixed them now, so I'll be sure to put them up tomorrow. On my contact sheet the roll looks rather crappy, but seeing them on the computer, bigger basically, they look a lot better and now I'm interested in printing a fair few of them. That's good, because I definately wasn't impressed at first. That's it for now as I'm calling it a night, SAT II tomorrow. 10:23PM

Alright so this is a continuation of yesterdays post, so if you're confused: read Nov 2 before this one. Then all of a sudden more kids showed up. Like 8, but still pretty good for a time of about 20 minutes. Some people from school said they would or might come see me. So I was hoping to go walk around with them. at 7:30, with 30 minutes left to be out, I got worried that they might not show up. But then the van pulls up and I see Julie's wig, and it was Bryan, Julie, Jessica, Jessica's sister, and Lauren. So yay, that made me happy; and they asked if I wanted to go walk around with them. (I wasn't going to invite myself) So I say yes and grab my cell phone and chapstick, lol. We go down my street and I take some of the candy I got and put it in my pockets/skirt because it had shorts made in it so it held some too lol. Then we go down another street and I get a phone call, tis Michael and we talk for the rest of the walking I do with the other group. I did feel a little bad for being on the phone, because I did really really appreciate that they came over and let me walk around with them, but I didn't want to hang up. Jessica and the group leave and I say bye and go inside. Dump the candy on the table and talk with him for quite a while and then I went to sleep. And here is the Halloween page with some pictures and a link to some video. If you care to check that out. And grand total of kids: 15. So now: November 1: I arrive right after Jen, or the other way around, but either way I found out right when I got to school how her fingers were. They were bruised, but you couldn't see the markings, but she said it was sore. I still feel bad that I did it, even though it was an accident. So let's see... Back to the regular routine for school. Well during 3rd hour I went to a Rhodes meeting, and the chick did a really good job on presenting the college. I'm interested in the school and she did a good job. Best so far, out of 3 I've seen, but hey. Um, oh yeah, we had a substitute for Photo some the class watched III of Star Wars and I went in the darkroom with Julie and talked as she printed. I went to Burger King with Jen and came back afterwards. Mmm... after school I had tennis. It was cloudy and started to sprinkle so I thought practice might be cancelled, but nope, sure wasn't. The temperature wasn't too bad, but the wind was brutal. I came home and ... what did I do. I can't remember. Wait, yes I do. Well, I got a Homecoming date this day, that's right. Yes, I'm going, with Matt, same guy I went to Prom with. I had a dress, but thought I don't want to wear brown (it would be the brown dress I wore during my cruise) so my mom and I went to the mall and I found this off color navy dress that is practically the same thing, but I wanted some color. Found some shoes and purse and went home, oh yeah and picked up some dinner at Jason's Deli. November 2: Right, so I was absolutely furious this day. I was in such a bad mood, especially before 1st hour and before 5th. And since I missed a day in Stats, I have no clue what is going on in that class. No idea. Which isn't good since I usually don't get it in the first place. I processed my film that day and had some problems, but my film was not lost so all is well. I went home for lunch. Oh yeah and the babies are back, the ones that cry. Those are always fun to have in classes. They are only in 2 of mine, so not too bad. Julie wanted me to go to bowling with her on Thursday since that was when she usually goes, and I usually go on Wednesday. So I decided I would switch to her day, but she decided in 7th hour that we should just go today. I couldn't let Jamie just not know, so I had said I'm going Thursday, but the plans changed as I mentioned so I called her after school and she couldn't go now. Would I go with her tomorrow? I don't know, we'll see. So I go to bowling. I did pretty well, better than last week anyway. I got 122, 102, and a 113 I believe. But my wrist was killing me so I'm going to blame the somewhat low score on that. lol. I came home and ... I don't know. Had dinner. Finally, today! : Well at lunch Jen and I went to Sonic but lots of other kids from school were there too, and they were already way busy and buy 12:06 we hadn't been helped yet so we left and went inside McDonalds. Saw the other Jenn and Rachel, and lol, the other Jenn hit her drink and it spilt all over the floor and it was the red drink, whatever it is, and the guy working there said 'Great, it's red, the easiest one to clean up.' He said this very sarcastically. lol. Anyway we go back to school to eat and that was that. Oh wait, while we were eating, (there are some younger guys that play four square during lunch) and one of these guys just randomly pulls down his pants. ... I mean he's in his boxers, but wtf is he thinking? lol, it was strange I guess. I printed today in 6th hour, well a contact sheet and then a picture. I don't really care for how the set of pictures turned out. Nothing very great or anything. Oh well. Which by the way I do have a picture of the pond behind my house. [one] and [two] Compare it to the hurricane pictures of the lake if you need to. Crazy low. Let's see what else happened today. Oh right. This was probably an hour or so ago. I was playing the piano and happened to stop and take a look at Lexi, and guess what a lab was right in front of her. So bam adrenaline rush as I run outside and try to get her inside. I trust no dogs when it comes to them being in our yard and when Lexi is outside. Who's to say that they won't attack her. So Lexi is freaking out trying to get to the dog. And so I'm squatting down trying to unhook the lead from the collar the dogs gets on my leg and licks me on the ear, but stupid thing is so wet and muddy that now I'm covered in it. I finally manage to grab Lexi and bring her inside but I can just feel my shirt is wet. I have a picture and it really doesn't do it justice for how muddy and wet I got from the dog. [picture] And Lexi is highly interested in the smells, lol. What you can't see is that the front of my right front jeans are covered too. So I came in and mom asks me, 'why were you freaking out, it was just a lab, it was so cute.' She hadn't seen my back and so I turned around as I said, 'oh yes, it was so cute and considerate to do this to me.' She goes oh and so I put the clothes in the laundry room. I was checking my email this morning and I got something from collegeboard saying, print our your admission ticket thing because you're taking the SAT on Saturday. I had completely forgotten that I had that! So it's a good thing I got the email. I also saw that PotC will be on tv tonight, someone wants some ratings. And that's it for today!!! lol, finally all caught up and yeah, wow that long. So major congrats to you if you read all of that. Jackie, oh well thank you very much anyway. :) Yay! Vicki, lol, if you're sure you want to. I hate that you have to pay to send it all over again. 5:51PM

This will be long. October 31: I woke up and got ready. Called Jennifer since I couldn't reach her the past weekend. I didn't exactly want to show up by myself. So eh, I arrive and she changes into some shoes I brought her. She was apparently leaning with her hand on the edge of my trunk and I had no idea but shut the trunk. And it shut on her fingers. She starts saying ow, my fingers and I scramble with my keys and finally get it back open. omg, it was absolutely terrible!! I felt so bad, and if only you would have seen what it looked like, so bad, I still get a little chill when I look at my trunk now. Like I said, I felt sooo bad. And we took a trip to the office to try to find some ice, but the concession stand was locked, but said it was fine. I was expecting for her fingers to be broken, but no, only dented. So gross. She helps teach a dance class 1st hour so I went and stood with her as she rounded the kids up. Once they were, we went to the gym, and then took a seat. Of course I'm checking and asking her the whole time are you sure you're fingers are okay? She kept saying yes, but I mean the trunk was shut and they were in there for a good 20 seconds or so. Anyway so we watch the parade. Nothing too great, but hey we miss first hour. So that ends and we have to leave. In 2nd hour we have a party, if you could call it that. Just had some ice cream and brownies, but Jen checked out because she told her mom of her fingers and was being forced to go to the doctor now to get them checked out. Great. So we do nothing in that class and then play Scrabble in Statistics, where I lost pretty badly. We sit around in Photo and I go home for lunch to change. Can't do the skirt anymore. I go back to school and do the afternoon classes, but also waiting for a text from Jennifer. I finally get one during 6th and she says the fingers are fine, just badly bruised. Well that's good news, but I still feel terrible about the incident. So let's see after school I come home and work on a lab report since we had a lab in Chem Lab that day. That took a nice while and then around 6 the trick or treating session started. I handed out candy to only 2 people in an one hour time span. Last year we only got 13 people, I looked it up. So then ... to be continued, I need to do some things right now.
